Pros

You are able to skill up on microsoft technologies for free The organization has a lot of events for people to get involved in (almost like college clubs) You get rewarded for the effort you put in

Cons

You do not have a manager. You have a career advisor (almost like a mentor) that advocates for you for promos and merit. The downside of this is generally your career advisor is not on every project you are on so they dont see first hand what you are doing. You have to apply for positions within the company you are interested in and review. If this is something you are not up for this may not be the place for you.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
